Obtaining Legal Advice in a Bankruptcy Case

A bankruptcy case is a legal proceeding that affects the rights of both debtors and creditors. Title 28 U.S.C. Section 955 prohibits any member of the Clerk's Office from giving advice which may be considered legal in nature. Canon 2f and Canon 3 of the Judiciary's Code of Conduct also prohibit this office from providing legal advice and further instruct the staff to remain impartial.
